Skinner Box - Lever Press

am amazed...ow does dis rat knw he's gon get a reward by pressing d lever aneway..ow clever is dat...i need dis for my unfinshed essay..phew!

You do know that B.F Skinner but his own daughter in a box like this?

@Batmanfan1993 That's not exactly True. If you watch the documentary about him, his daughters explain that the "box" they were in was simply a temperature/humidity controlled sleeping chamber to keep the babies comfy. They didn't spend any more time in it than any other babies in a normal crib.

@ tnigo1...wot exactly do u mean?

Hi Jonas!!!

Well done Eddy!

how cuteeeee

I think it looks at least as happy as I do when i play my games.

Before you know it, this is going to be one very fat rat! ;)

That's one hungry animal:))

@PobbleRedFlannel didn't Thorndike do the operant conditioning and Skinner "only" expanded one of the three 'laws'; the law of effect? @neijen999 there where shocks included too, duno if you call that mistreading.

@neijen999 - He didn't the mistreatment was long before his days when phiosophers stil believed in dogma. A good example is Descartes. Descartes believed animals did not have souls and therefore did not have feelings. This was before anesthesia and reseachers were allowed to conduct experiments on live animals. They considered the yelps and cries to be nothing more than the hydraulic hisses and vibrations of machines. Very sad, difficult to type, part part of history.

he so stupid why he cant just click a few times and then he had a meal :P

@Neverhoodian did you have fun writing all that? ;)

hahah

@Neverhoodian if hes only got the trial version hes in the shit

give it the messenger :D

@JessJDGAF any luck finding one

@JessJDGAF Start playing World of warcraft, if you don't mind being a rat.

sooo cute:)

How did you make this box?

Awsome!

World of Warcraft in a nutshell.

Normally the grill under the rat is supposed to deliver electric shock until the rat press the lever when not in use for food... This thing is not for fucking play FFS!

Despite all my rage I'm still just a rat in a cage ...

The rat is cute

actually, that's a shuttle box, which works on the basis of learned helplessness in order to induce apathy and do human behavioural studies (e.g. effectiveness of anti-depressants). This however, is a skinner box, which shows operant conditioning (involving a cue, response and reward).

How did anyone ever get a film of a typical DemocRat voter in a Polling Booth? DemocRATS Pushing Levers to keep those pellets flowing. Who's paying for the pellets?

Actually they're different... slot machines use variable reinforcement which randomly give rewards. Making it far more addictive but the video uses positive reinforcement, where everytime the lever is pressed it is rewarded.

notice how the left likes to use phrases which are demeaning to minoritys, like "teabagger" (implying homosexuality as a negative) and the above phase that of which uses a insult thats offensive to women.

Cute rat :)

e ton pontika. . .

That sound though. He almost did it twice at the end.

I saw pictures of this box being used for pigeons to see if they could correctly identify tumors, pretty neat!

hello wow garrison facebook game 3.0

I mean if a hungry rat is the test subject and the rat managed to press the lever due to hunger. wouldn't that mean that the act of pressing the lever to get food (positive condition) could also serve as an act to avoid starvation (negative conditions)? And wouldn't that also mean that the act of pressing the lever to get food is a negative reinforcement? I have a feeling that some of these type of operant condition are connected to each other. For example, the negative reinforcements and punishment

Thanks this video helped me understand about the reward centers I read in the textbook.

Hi, do I have your permission to use a few seconds of this video in one I am making on behaviorism? I will credit and link back.

reinforced every response?

This animal make me scared🙃

Rat must have been delicious.
